Old Man

I’m helping out on the parish’s confirmation retreat for the high school kids. I’m apparently old enough that I’m the only one whose name tag includes an honorific. #catholic #lifeat40 #AmIOld

You eventually reach the point when you just go to work because you need to, not because you enjoy it, nor do you have a passion for it.

You just learn to accept that the plans you had were probably not meant to be. Sure, some of it were your fault… but there are so many factors involved, the part where it is your fault is minimal once you take it all in.

You just look up on the horizon, or at the stars, thinking there is some version of you out there in the #multiverse who have a better life and living your dreams. It wasn't because you're unlucky, rather, it was the culmination of all the decisions you made and the circumstances thrown at you.

#NoRegrets. It is what it is. The only way forward is to accept it. Just work and live today, so you can continue to live tomorrow.
